Francis White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory, of Norfolk 1854, p. 798

WEASENHAM ALL SAINTS, or Upper Weasenham, a small parish, 3½ miles N.W. of Litcham, has 72 houses, 363 souls, and 1,960 acres of land, including 167a. of plantations. The whole, except a few cottages, 17a. of glebe, and the Fuel Allotment, is the property of the Earl of Leicester, who is also lord of the manor, and lessee of the rectory. The Church is a small edifice, and the vicarage is valued in the King's book at £15 10s., in the gift of the Crown, and incumbency of the Rev. Chas. Campbell. The Fuel allotment, 40a., was awarded in 1809 for this parish and that of Weasenham St. Peter, jointly. The poor of All Saints have 10s. yearly left by Jno. Billing, in 1630, and the interest of £10. left by John Bailey.
